This is in large part why an Article V convention is our last hope. Scotus is unhinged. It isn't satisfied with mere corruption of our Constitution. Through its meddling with the civil society, (abortion, fag marriage, and much more) it is actually going after our Declaration of Independence! Try as they might, a majority of lawyers in black robes cannot repeal the Laws of Nature and Nature's God. Much of the turmoil in 21st century America is attributable to this meddling with fundamental law above the Constitution and beyond the reach of man.
Closed to truth and decency, but open to trash, lies and evil. And if continued, the end of America.
These were not federal statutes, but local.
Where the federal is concerned we need only fight for the 10th Amendment tooth and nail.
The reason you put off reading “Closing of the American Mind” for so long, that it is insufferably dull; nearly impossible, to read. It is the most important sleep-inducing treatise I have ever read. It sat on my bedside table and it took me months to wade through it.
Oh there is still recourse, just not LEGAL recourse.
Ultimately, our last recourse is ourselves, our speech, our fists, or, if needs be, more aggressive measures. By removing the legal recourse, this area of society will now be encompassed under the “law of the jungle”.
The 10th amendment has been toothless for at least a century now, that battle was already lost.
No, it is still there to win so long as the language remains unamended.
Frankly, I’d be okay with some group of women kicking the **** out of some dude in drag because he came into the women’s rest room.
I’d not personally hit a woman in a guy’s bathroom though, under the opposing circumstances, though I may offer her a handful of paper towels to clean up beforehand (I mean, come on fellas, it’s a foot wide and more than a foot long ... not some shot glass at 10 paces).
Am I missing something?
I thought the idea behind moral relativism is that whatever the ‘group’ thinks is moral, is moral.
Am I getting that right?
Absolutely.
Revolution is never legal. It is typically just.
Before that, we have peaceful means available through Article V.
Long gone, along with just about everything else from my freshman year. It was 30 years ago. :)
My college experience was similar. It was an adult studies program, and the people attending had been around long enough to know a thing or two. The college profs they recruited were used to intimidating and brainwashing a bunch of kids right out of high school and had no experience teaching actual adults with life experience and firm convictions. We made them squirm and flustered and eventually so frustrated that most of them never came back for subsequent semesters. The only exception was the English teacher who was a crusty little Vietnam-vet Airborne troop who described himself as “slightly to the right of Attila the Hun.” He hated his colleagues as much as we did and was tickled when we go their goat.
“Thus, the great Leftist opening is actually a great closing. Values are relative. Create whatever lifestyle you wish. “
Unless that lifestyle:
- Can be perceived as denying blacks rights
- Contributes to their perception of global warming
- Doesn’t approve of the gay lifestyle
- Thinks Israel should exist
- Believes in a smaller, less powerful central government
According to today’s Left, you shouldn’t be allowed to create a lifestyle based around these values (among others).
Fantastic! Wish I could have been there to join you guys and watch (and be a part of) the fun. :D
